A '''pit''', also called '''abyss''' or '''bottomless pit''', is an area in a video game where no solid ground is programmed. If a playable character falls or jumps into the pit, he or she will be affected negatively. While most games do not explain this phenomenon, in the [[Mushroom World]], they are a natural element. It appears that many of these pits have no bottom, although after falling a varying distance down the pit, the person will die without hitting the bottom. This will even happen to [[Invincible Mario|invincible characters]]. Some [[Shayde]]s are tasked with cleaning pits as punishment in the [[Underwhere]], as seen in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''.
